Description

### User report

"Expand Podcast” Button does not work, after double-tapping on it Nothing happens, podcast is not expanded so I can’t read what the podcast is about.

### Additional information

It appears this is related to the podcast header being a UITableViewCell with content that appears. Tried firing off all sorts of accessibility notifications but it didn't seem to help. This might need to be part of a reworking of the podcast page, since that's a complex page.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on the podcast page with VoiceOver and inspect the podcast header UITableViewCell mentioned in the report. Check how the expand action and newly shown content are exposed to accessibility. Done means double-tapping “Expand Podcast” expands the page and makes the podcast description readable.
